STORYLINE
The Security Council unanimously approved a resolution extending the authorization for the Syria cross-border aid mechanism for an additional six months, until 10 July.
The authorization allows the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Syria from Türkiye via the Bab al-Hawa crossing without requiring the consent of the Syrian government.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the United States Permanent Representative to the UN, said the vote “allows the Syrian people to breathe a sigh of relief”, but added that “while this lifeline will continue to operate, so much more could have been done, and so much more still needs to be done.”
The Permanent Representative from Russia, Vasily Nebenzya, said that “there is no need to say that, as it currently stands, the resolution fails to reflect the aspirations of the Syrian people, who expect from the Security Council, in addition to humanitarian efforts, respect for Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty not in words but in deeds.”
Representing the Syrian Arab Republic, ambassador Bassam Sabbagh said his delegation “reaffirms that improving the humanitarian situation in Syria requires a continuous development and improvement.”
Therefore, Sabbagh continued, “the technical extension of the resolution 2672 cannot be the adequate track to support this process.”
After the meeting, the ambassadors from Switzerland and Brazil, the two countries who assumed the penholdership of the Syria humanitarian file this year, spoke to journalists at the stakeout.
Pascale Baeriswyl, the Permanent Representative from Switzerland, noted that “the humanitarian situation in Syria continues to deteriorate” and “in order to meet the growing humanitarian needs and to protect civilians, rapid, unimpeded, and sustainable humanitarian access across Syria is needed to deliver more lifesaving humanitarian assistance, as well as increased early recovery projects.”
According to Baeriswyl, “the cross border mechanism remains the only viable option to deliver aid to date, as it is the most effective means of assistance for millions of people in northwest Syria.”
